Fire Emblem Warriors devs talk female Robin, Cordelia and Chrom's relationship

The following comes from a Nintendo Dream interview with producer Yosuke Hayashi and director Hiroya Usuda, as translated by Nintendo Everything...

On female Robin's inclusion...

Hayashi: ...in the end, we as players do want to be able to use both male and female versions!

Usuda: The Robin that appears in the story has been fixed to be male, but if you progress through a certain replayability feature, there’s a system that lets you choose Female Robin too.

Hayashi: That’s one of the benefits from the replay value. In cut-scenes and other places, basically Robin will be male. But we asked all of the voice actors to consider both male and female versions when [their characters are] talking with Robin.

On Cordelia and Chrom's relationship...

ND: What kind of character will Cordelia be like in this game?

Usuda: She was a character who was really easy to create! Despite being a genius that can do anything, you cannot omit comical words from her, such as her being told that her ‘javelin looks bland’. Because her presence is a beauty recognized by anyone, we properly created her model to be beautiful as well. We have another reason why we decided to add Cordelia, it’s because we want to write her conversation with Chrom.

Hayashi: It won’t mean that a new relationship between them is going to develop, but I think you’d get to enjoy the situation itself, where those two get to talk with each other.
